Goals are for losers

I shamelessly copied that title from Scott Adams ( of 'Dilbert' fame). A soft management issue for a change, but inspiring, nevertheless. And of course, like the kid whose only take-away after listening to an inspiring talk about Bill Gates was that Bill Gates did not complete school, please do not take it out of context!

Here is the link to original video and article:



Fail your way to Success

If you want to be successful ( Read: $$, work-life balance, or however you define success) then don't just sit there talking about it, or crying over past failures and how unfair life has been to you.

And when one day you are ready to pen that life success story, you will know ( if you don't know already) that success is not all luck and passion. It is hardly, if ever, passed down from fore-fathers. It is not sweet talk, board room meeting, plans and goals. It is not what you wanted to do or what you were capable of doing, but what you actually did. It is always a result of sweat and toil. And every success story will have its fair share of failure anecdotes.

So, roll up your sleeves and get your your-know-what to the grind!
